Playing videos in full screen causes app to close

Just updated to latest version of Firefox for Android (ver 113). When I try to watch a YouTube video in full screen, the app suddenly closes, as if I pressed the home button (note: I say "close" rather than "crash" because when I reopen it, all the pages are still loaded). This doesn't happen every time, but it is annoying. Is there any way to fix this?

Clear cache and data it might be causing your browser to overwork and Disable hardware acceleration if the first step didn't work out

How do I do that? I reinstalled ver 112 and I no longer have this problem, so I think it's a bug.

Thanks! I'll just stick with version 112 in the meantime.
